However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Lisa Duarte *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

If you stare at static on a TV long enough you see faces. If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices.
